novel steering apparatus. The man in
charge of the wheel at the rear, In case he
wants to stop the bob, can raise the long
seat by one turn of the wheel, and at the
same time throw the rear runners toward
the ground or on their toes, at the same
time causing large iron claw to scrape the
ground. The steersman can also pull a
cord by his side and spring drops heavy

that the archduchess is merciless in her

improving her poetic productions before

"They have peculiar amusements up in

man in fur overcoat at the Palmer

what they call hard times ball. The
people who attend these entertainments
dress themselves up in rags and pay nine
teen cents for admission to the hall. The
supper consists of scraps dried pork or
1erked bee1, for which the feeder is taxed
fourteen cents. The fiddler is dressed in
rags, the hall is lighted with candles, and
small vegetables are used for corsage bou-

The Citadel at Halifax, n. s., Closely
Guarded-No Foreigners Admitted.
HALIFAX, N. S., May 27.-Extraordin-
airy precautions have been taken lately
by the military authorities which renders
admission to the citadel by ordinary citi-
zens more difficult than ever, while even
those supposed to have business there
are under certain restrictions. No per
son, whether British subject or not, can
obtain entrance unless holding pass
from the brigade office, stating that there
are reasons for his or her admittance,
and no one whatever is to
be allowed inside out of
mere curiosity. No foreigner OF
whatever nationality can be admitted IN
less he has a special permit issued by the
war office in London. The reason of the
measures taken to vigorously exclude the
public is said to be because the neWspa-
per correspondents have been granted so
much freedom inside the past that they
have been enabled to give minute descrip-
tions OF the works, guns, etc, and this
the authorities do not appreciate.

PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY.
The Question of Union With the Northern
Church Disposed Or

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 27.-The Presby-
terrain Assembly has finally after four
days heated debate disposed of the ques-
ton of union with the northern church
by the adoption of the substitute intro
duced by Rev. Mr.. Hoge of North Caro-
lima for the minority report and which
provides for the appointment of COM
mittee to confer with a committee of the
northern church to ascertain the senti-
ment of the latter on ecclesiastical boards
and colored church and other subjects IL
regard to the two churches as might be
deemed necessary. This was adopted
by a vote OF 81 to 50 and was after
wards made to cover both minority and
majority reports snd was then telegraphed
to the assembly in session at Omaha.
DIR. Morton presented the report of the
committee on narratives. 1t had but one
interesting point, that calling attention
to the lack of attention to the colored
people. If no more care was taken of
them the brethren before him would be
dead and forgotten before the cOlored
people would be q problem in presby-
teries. The culture of the members of
the assembly, he said, was rubbed from
horny hands and rained from sweaty
brOWs of the Colored people, and it did
not become the southern church to ignore
them. The work Of the northern church,
marred SIS it was with many blemishes,
had been marvellous with this people
Last year they appropriated 100000 to
this work, and the southern church
but $4,000 The church sends mis-
sionaries to Japan, China and
Brazil, but has e: this great body go
WithoutSa word OF good. The northern
church has $1,000 communicates among
this people and Is spreading its work.
The committee on foreign missions re
ported recommending that the request OF
the Brazilian churches to be allowed to
erect separate national synod in con-
| junction with northern church missions
which have been released, was granted.
The committeeon foreign correspondence
reported q response to the American
house of bishops and deputies OF the
Episcopal church's letter on Christian
Unity, expressing fraternal feeling, but
postponing action until 1883.

in general fight. Reyolyers were being
drawn and the bride had crawled under

saw how matters was going and

merry, weddings ever celebrated in Texas.

Following Mrs. Brown Potter,s Footsteps

Paris Letter to Milwaukee Sentinel.
Miss De Wolff of New York, who is
considered to have taken the place among
amateur actresses left vacant by Mrs.
Brown-P Potter, was found with her mother
ct the Hotel du Rhin. OF the adjectives
which women love to hear applied to their
names Miss De Wolff has the lions share.
Graceful, stylish, pretty (but the word is
too weak, and beautiful is too cold),
young and rich. Not bad combination,
is it? And yet she merits them all. Tai
ent or genius? OF course it is too soon
as yet to pass Judgment, but she certainly
seems to have common sense and
dates utterly the idea that she
is preparing herself for the profes-
sionaI stage. "Nor is that statement
of mine" she added mischievously, "to
be taken as a reason for believing the
contrary. Why should l wish TO become
professional actress? l have 10 need
my talents for acting just as well as
others who cultivate those which they
have for music, painting, etc? | am
thoroughly in earnest IN what | have I'M
dertaken, and am ready to give up social
pleasures and devote my whole energy to
gaining By honest WORK some real merit"
As has been her habit Of late years,
Miss De Wolff will pass the summer in
Paris, taking for her models the great ar
lists of the Coincide Franchise, whose
style and method she admires above all
others. She will present letters to Alex
ander Dumas, Delsnny and other actors
and dramatic authors, and will study
in Whatever way they may advise Her
perfect facility in the French language is
of course great advantage.

An Atlanta Sensation

ATLANTA, Jan. 10.-Something Of a
sensation was created in the city yes
teIdav afternoon, when the EreHiHg
capitol, heretofore a strong prohibition
paper, came out in an editorial denOunc-
ing prohibition in Atlanta as dead fail
ure. The Capitol says the promises OF
the Prohibitionists have proven d farce,
that whisky is sold as Of yora, that the
number of places where 1t Is sold are in
creasing, that the council Is increasing
the police force. which it promised to
decrease. and that the city is losing rev.
enue while crime is not diminished. Ii
is understood that Mr.. Charles S. At
wood, founder and principal owner of
the paper, wrote the editorial. John L.
Waterman, who is announced at the
head of the paper az its editorial mana
ger, IL an ardent prohibitiOnist. The
fact of the business is Atlanta has paid
dearly for her whistle. She lost the
Georgia Midland, ran ten wholesale IL
quor houses out of town, ruined the
builders of the KimbalI House, stopped
the local brewery, and by the division OF
her citizens stopped her progress as if by
a stroke of paralys sis. AS soon as posi-
BILE high license will be tried. The rea
leaders of both sides have already agre &c
on that.
